ALUMNI AFTERMATH.
The Northwestern Reunions.

This month has brought together the
Northwestern alumni associations of sew
eral of the oldest and greatest educational
institutions in the country. Harvard, Yale,
Princeton. Amherst, Bowdoin and Williams
have each been toasted in turn by
loyal sons, and among the graduates
the determination has been made
that hereafter they will meet annu-
ally. These reunions of college men
have far more than passing social signifi-
cance. They are the coming together of
men who, whatever their present occupa-
ton and mode of thought, are deeply inter-
ested through force of their first manly ex-
periences, in education. They may have
forgotten, as no doubt many of them have,
the Latin and Greek which in their college
days was their great boast or bore, as the
case may be. Their business may have led
them into paths entirely at variance with
their college training They must have
learned long ago that mere graduation is
of little value from a worldly stand
point unless backed by the solid sense
and mental culture, for securing which the
great colleges offer so grand an opportunity.
They meet after the conceit. with which, to
a man. they left their alma mater, has been
knocked out of them, and can, with wisdom

city novel scheme for giving new pleasure
to their friends was hit upon by two young
society ladies of the highest circles. Their
set had danced until seven that most fasci
mating OF all amusements began to cloy, and
to what did they resort? To bean bags.
The same game in which the little school
girls indulge every spring, only on this oc-
caSiOn society leaders, men and ladies,
gave their undivided attention to throwing
and catching the little bags, and they grew
enthusiastic over the childish sport, and
the interest waXed higher and fun was ram
pant. 1t was the novelty of the thing that
made it complete success. for the next
day, when these men and ladies attempted
an analysis of the amusement of the night
before, they could find only that element
in it, coupled. of course, with the presence
of those dear TO them, that could have
afforded pleasure for grown folks.

He is more intelligent and, l almost feel con-

correctness; he is posted upon current events;
no has opinions, formulates theories, encour-
ages expectations. He is generous. lie likes a

hates shams, hc doesn't indulge in make be-

the present, he doesn't trouble himself much

He is shrewd, wary, artful; he is quick at
